FAREWELL 2011

Is anyone else wondering where 2011 went? I can't believe how fast this year went, no sooner were we over Christmas than Easter was upon us. Once we got through that, we jumped up to start counting all our bits and pieces for the annual stock take. Over to another lot of holidays, showcased a bit of PR, moved across to our 2nd Retreat at the beautiful Hume Resort, kicked off the AFL finals (go Cats...), then fluttered into Cup Fever on the run up to Christmas - and caput! - another year over!

In amongst that we had the teenagers hitting a whole new level of attitude at 15 and 17, and the new old mate clocking up 50. That really had to be the best one though, the weekend (shock / horror) after Retreat we had a Surprise 50th for our new Old Mate! I was a bit panic stricken that he most certainly already knew, because he just doesn't miss a trick..................... Imagine my shock when we all saw that he actually didn't know!!!!! The new Old Mate turned 50, and he had no idea about the party - how awesome is that?


In amongst all this Scrapville ran their first Copic Club, with monthly Classes teaching the girls how to produce some beautiful cards, whilst learning all the ins and outs of Copic Techniques. As a result we have extended our range of stamps and markers, and are already looking forward to the 2012 Copic Club.

Our ladies in the Flower Tech classes learned the skill of hand making an assorted range of Flowers using various techniques and materials. They left each class with a beautifully created card displaying their stunning flowers. It was wonderful to see these stunning flowers also appearing on the girl's challenge layouts and cards, as a clear indication of some satisfying achievements.

Scrapville's BYO Cricut Class was once again popular, with those new to their machines reaping the benefits of learning the many qualities this machine provides under the instruction of Allana. A start to finish hands on class where you get to know your machine, and learn about it's many uses hands on.

Our off the page canvas was also a popular class, with the girls focusing their skills on painting, inking, embossing and altering chip shapes, before starting on a variety of beautifully quilled and creatively arranged flowers. Like our Blind CropVille's, no two are ever the same! I love how the girls always add their own touch to the canvas, with their choice of quilled flowers differing in their designs and colour, and each arranged according to individual preferences.

September saw Scrapville's 2nd RetreatVille at the beautiful Hume Resort. The shop was well stocked and had ample space, the food was magnificent, and the tables seated fabulous groups of ladies who were a pleasure to host. Our Girls Night In was lots of fun, and of course our Blind Crop also proved an added bonus. Heather ran a wonderful class, producing a multi photo layout using stitching. Overall it was a wonderful and relaxing time for all.

Our grunge and heritage classes also proved popular, utilizing new and creative techniques. We found the Christmas Wreath to be a popular class again, and each one turned out fabulous.

Over the year we also shared wonderful creations from our talented Creative Team Girls, and Guest Members. They have done a wonderful job throughout the year, and I would like to acknowledge their contributions, time and effort whilst on the Scrapville Creative Team.

To Sally, Heather, Sam, Nikki, Michelle and Sarah a huge thank-you. To the girls who have also helped out in the shop, shows or Retreat, also a huge thank-you to Allana, Heather, Sam, Michelle and Sarah.

To the new friendships I have made this year, and the wonderful people I have met and hopefully been able to help in some way. It is wonderful getting to know you all, and share in your passions.


As one door closes another opens, and we will be sharing the talents of our newest Creative Team Members, Claire, Anita and Deb, along with Sally, to introduce a temptation of Creativity to get your new year moving. We will also be bringing on board some new class instructors, and a variety of new classes for 2012. 


I would like to thank my in-store customers for coming in, whether from near or far, and for all their support during the year. To the subscribers of our Monthly Packs, and those that enter our Challenges and ScrapBursts, thank you also. The cold hard reality is that without your support scrapbooking and card making shop fronts will continue to close.

Last but not least, thank you to the new Old Mate for your support and understanding, your help with the shows and retreat, and for entertaining the girls when you drop in during classes (...maybe "thanks a lot Janet!!" was not how they really meant it, but that is how I intend to interpret it!!!) To the teenagers for helping out when you can, and understanding, or putting up with - the hours I put in away from home. (I'm hoping the internet, coaching basketball and the soccer write-ups buy me some points!! ...that and saving you from the new Old Mate's cooking!)

I hope you're looking forward to another year at Scrapville as we continue to grow the passion.

December Newsletter

Hello everyone, and welcome to Scrapville's December Newsletter.  Our first of many "lasts" for the year with most activities and classes winding up soon. I'm sure everyone is madly preparing for Christmas - making cards and sending them off, getting the decorations and the tree up, making your lists................how scary is that?!  And then there's the Christmas Concert, the break up parties, the Christmas drinks with friends.  And lets not forget the Work Breakup - and all those positively remarkable must get photo opportunities one should not miss out on for Scrapping!  (..just don't let it be you....)
  
As we cruise on into the silly season allow yourselves just a little bit of time for reflection, and appreciate where we are and those around us.  I hope that the impending Christmas Cheer includes happy times, chocolate, happy hours, family (if not your's then someone else's....) fantastic food, chocolate, catching up with friends, happy hours and enjoying the moment.

NOVEMBER NEWSLETTER

Hello everyone, and welcome to Scrapville's November Newsletter. Here we are at the other end of the yearly calendar, and I am still trying to get my head around where the rest of this year has gone!  As a positive reflection though, we have seen lots of inspiration pass through the doors of Scrapville, both physically and in the cyber world!  We have shared with you new Creative Team Members and their talents, watched the changing technique and style of some newer scrappers grow, and introduced some challenging and imaginative classes.  At this point of the year I hope it has been as fulfilling for you as it has for myself and the Team at Scrapville.
 
SKETCH CHALLENGES
Well our October/November Sketch Challenge still has two weeks to go before Pumpkin Time, so jump on board people and get yours in. You're going to need the extra time for other things this month........

NOVEMBER MONTHLY PACK 

Our November Monthly Pack is due out at the end of this week, so keep tuned for the Creative Team updates, and see how these talented people have used their packs.  Using Little Black Dress from Basic Grey,  I am sure the girls will be inspiring you to grab a pack yourself and start creating. These are great papers to work with, so I hope you can get your Challenge Pack in.  

If you want to be in the running for a prize pack, pick up your Monthly Pack and start creating.  You must use only the products in the pack, but you may use techniques such as inking, painting, stitching, Glimmer Misting etc, and be sure to have your Layout in by Midnight on 30th November.

SCRAPBURSTS!!  
For the month of November we are going to be running with 4 ScrapBursts, so dig deep and get into that stash, pop into Scrapville and top up your supplies, and lets find that mojo to get your creativity flowing.  Now here they are:
#1 - METALS
This layout is to incorporate Metals - this can be embellishments, metal foil, charms - as long as there is a healthy balance of these it'll be ok.
#2 - STITCHING
Ah Ha - and it can be by hand or machine, as long as we have at least 25% of stitching used on your layout, which is more than just the border girls, so get creative!
#3 - NUMBERS
Ok, following the list you will need to have ALL of the following incorporated into your layout:
1 x bling shape/pattern/word
2 x photos 
3 x frames
4 x patterned papers
5 x brads
#4 - EMBOSSED PAPER
This layout is to incorporate Embossed Papers, whether you add them or emboss your own.  Your layout must include at least 1/3 of EMBOSSED paper/s.

You will have until 30th November to complete your challenges. Only one layout will be accepted for each ScrapBurst. There will be a Prize Pack up for grabs in each ScrapBurst with the winners being selected by the Creative Team.  An announcement will declare the winners on 2nd December. Good luck everyone!

BLIND CROPVILLE
The November Blind CropVille will be run at Ruby's in Myrtleford on Thursday 17th November commencing 7pm. You can book at Scrapville, or at Ruby's.


The Scrapville BCV classes will be run on Saturday 19th November at 2pm and at 7pm. Bookings & deposit are essential.

For those that would like to attend the Blind CropVille but are not sure of the skill requirements, please speak to Janet.  You will get to try out a few new techniques (and even a few older ones you may have forgotten about), and that will just add to the excitement of the class. Interpretation is the key to each instruction given in these classes.  Come along and try out a class, I'm sure you'll be happy with what you accomplish.

WANDERVILLE
Regular Wednesday afternoons are still set aside for WanderVille at Scrapville.  Here you can "Wander on in" to Scrapville and scrap, make your cards, finish off those Christmas cards, or look for a bit of inspiration for that next project. You can also use the time to do a catch-up class, so long as prior arrangements have been made. If you would like to tackle a challenge or two, pick up some ideas or get a little help making a start on that special project, we at Scrapville are happy to assist you when requested. And of course you can also enjoy a coffee or tea in the meantime, and find everything else you need to get it all done.  I'm still hoping you might get one in before the silly season sets in......

CLASSES

The Class Lists are now up on the "Newsletter & Classes Blog" for October, November & December Classes. The Flower Technique Classes were a great success, and have been put up again with an advanced 5th Class that the girls have been working on. We will be doing the Paper Christmas Wreath class again, with 2 classes already done, so if you missed out last year you'd better get in early.

Anyone wanting to do MakeUp or Repeat Classes will need to check the Class List for new times. You can also find these uploaded to the Newsletter Blog shortly.  If any class dates don't suit, just contact Janet to see if there is a waiting list or alternative date for another class.

Our October Monthly Pack will be out next week due to a few delays with CHAS orders, so keep tuned for that. For those that Subscribe to the Monthly Packs, these will be held for you at Scrapville unless otherwise advised. 

DOCRAFTS
The next DoCrafts Mag and stock items will be in-store in the next few days.

CROPVILLE
This month's Blind CropVille will be run at Ruby's in Myrtleford on Thursday 20th October commencing 7pm. You can book here at Scrapville, or at Ruby's.


The Scrapville BCV will be run on Saturday 22nd October at 2pm and at 7pm. Bookings are essential, as is the deposit.

For those that find the Blind CropVille a little daunting, please speak to Janet so that you can ascertain the required level of skill or technique required for each class. You will get to try a few new techniques (and even a few older ones you'd forgotten about), and that just adds to the excitement.  Interpretation is the key to each instruction given in these classes, and this is what makes the layout more individual. We do not expect the layouts to be exact replica's of the Master Layout at the end, because we know that everyone has a different take on how the instructions are understood. Come along and enjoy a class and I'm sure you'll be happy with what you've accomplished.

WANDERVILLE
We have a regular Wednesday afternoon set aside for WanderVille, where you can come into the workshop at Scrapville and scrap, make your cards, get on top of those Christmas cards now, or look for inspiration for that next project. You can also use the time to do a catch-up class, so long as prior arrangements have been made. If you would like to tackle a challenge or two, pick up some ideas or get a little help making a start on that special project, we at Scrapville are happy to assist you when requested. And of course you can also enjoy a coffee or tea in the meantime, and find everything else you need to get it all done. I'm still hoping you might......

CLASSES

We are just about ready to put up the Classes for the October & November Class Lists. The Flower Technique Classes were a great successful, and will be put up again with the advanced 5th Class that the girls have been working on. There will be another Christmas Wreath class, so if you missed out last year you'd better get in early.

Anyone wanting to do MakeUp or Repeat Classes will need to check the Class List for new times. You can also find these uploaded to the Newsletter Blog shortly.

The Monthly Copic Club is going along well, and the girls have been producing some beautiful cards at Show and Tell. With the last class held out at Retreat, the girls were able to sneak a peek at their work.

The next Copic Club Class will be held in November, with the girls getting to try out a few more techniques to add to their styles. Once we have finished with the First Copic Club we will look at running the 2nd Copic Club Classes in 2012. If you feel you would like to learn how to use these Markers to their full potential, please make enquiries instore - it really does make a difference to your colouring.


KIDSVILLE CLASSES
The last of the KidsVille Classes were run this THURSDAY of the school holidays. There were an enthusiastic young group in attendance, and I must say mums, these kids will always know what THEY want!  What we start with and what we end up with could well be two entirely different designs, but as long as the little people are happy with their layouts, (and I can get reasonably close to the mark...) we're all happy!

Here are some photos of the Little People's classes:







 This is the layout design used for the last class.  I will upload a photo of the girls work shortly.
Anyone interested in doing a KidsVille Class on a Saturday will need a minimum number of four to run. If you would like to leave your details on a waiting list, please see Janet and I will let you know when it will be running.

Laybuy is available (*Terms and Conditions apply), and the Sale Price is for a limited time only. Included in the price is 3 new Cartridges, and a new 12x12 Mat.

RETREATVILLE
Well we're done and dusted for another year.  RetreatVille was a lot of fun, very relaxing, and we had a great group of ladies to boot!  In amongst the normalities of retreat we had our Copic Club Class, a Girls Night In, a wonderful raffle filled with scrappy goodness, an invitation Crop, Spot Prizes, a Blind Crop and a Stitching Class that Heather ran before the Girls Night In commenced.  The layouts were all beautiful, so lucky were those that were stitched up with Heather!  The food was magnificent, and the ambiance of the group a pleasure - I can't wait for next year!  (.....don't tell Lui..... again!)  Thanks to everyone that attended and made it such an enjoyable (and entertaining) pleasure, and I love all my little thank-you tags!

The date is already set for 2012, and we will do what it takes to make it even better!  Lock it in people, September 20th to 23rd 2012.  I will be sending out an information email to all 2011 attendees shortly with new information regarding bookings.
